Description

Modelling a real endurance racer

The Peugeot 9X8 is a genuine hypercar competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its most talked-about feature is the absence of a conventional rear wing, an aerodynamic decision by Peugeot's engineers that gives the car a distinctive silhouette among WEC entries. The LEGO® Technic version translates that shape into 1,775 pieces, and in keeping with the rest of the Technic range, it's built purely as a technical model rather than a play set with figures.

1,775 pieces of engineering

At 1,775 pieces, this is one of the larger builds in the LEGO® Technic line-up, sitting firmly in advanced vehicle-model territory. Its 241 unique parts point to a construction that mixes structural Technic elements with panelling needed to reproduce the car's curved bodywork accurately. As with most Technic vehicles, the build typically works from the chassis outward, adding the outer shell once the underlying structure is in place, a process quite different from assembling a standard brick-built model.

A racing palette with a blue accent

Black, blue, dark bluish grey and light bluish grey make up the colour scheme, echoing the real car's livery rather than going for a playful mix. The two greys and black form most of the bodywork and chassis, while blue is used more sparingly to reflect Peugeot's motorsport branding. Sorting pieces by shade before starting makes it easier to tell exterior panel parts from structural elements underneath. The colour breakdown on this page lists every shade used across the build.

241 parts worth tracking down

With 241 unique parts, the 9X8 gives builders a decent base for hunting down specific Technic elements, whether that's pin connectors, panel pieces or axle components. The full parts list on this page catalogues every element individually, which is useful for replacing a lost piece or comparing components with other Technic vehicle sets. Since no minifigures are included, the entire list is dedicated to building parts, making it a straightforward reference for anyone raiding the set for other Technic projects.
